This.
Only on HN does ChatGPT somehow fear losing customers to Grok. Until Grok works out how to market to my mother, or at least make my mother aware that it exists, taking ChatGPT customers ain't happening.

- brigandish 2y agoFrom another AI (whatever DuckDuckGo is using): > As of early 2025, X (formerly Twitter) has approximately 586 million active monthly users. The platform continues to grow, with a significant portion of its user base located in the United States and Japan. Whatever portion of those is active are surely aware of Grok.
- cubefox 2y agoThat could be just an AI hallucination.
- brigandish 1y agoYes it could, and we could be sceptical of any source, quite rightly, but to be sceptical without any further investigation or reasoning would be just as wasteful as blindly trusting a source. Which source would you prefer?
- ForHackernews 2y agomost of them are bots. I guess their own LLMs are probably aware of Grok, so technically correct.
- decremental 2y agoThis is what the kids call cope.
- Sharlin 2y agoIf hundreds of millions of real people are aware of Grok (which is dubious), then billions of people are aware of ChatGPT. If you ask a bunch of random people on the street whether they’ve heard of a) ChatGPT and b) Grok, what do you expect the results to be?
- dmd 2y agoThat depends. Is the street in SoMa?
- testfrequency 1y agoGay bears prefer Claude though Gotta head to pac heights to find any grok users (probably)

- bilbo0s 1y agoYeah. I got news for you, most women my mother's age out here in flyover country also don't use X. So even if everyone on X knows of Grok's existence, which they don't, it wouldn't move the needle at all on a lot of these mass market segments. Because X is not used by the mass market. It's a tech bro political jihadi wannabe influencer hell hole of a digital ghetto.
- brigandish 1y agoThat's a very US-centric comment.
- skywhopper 1y agoGood grief, do not use LLMs to find this sort of statistic.
- brigandish 1y agoWhy ever not?
- numpad0 2y agoThey are cargoculting. Almost literally. It's MO for Musk companies. They might call it open discussion and startup style rapid iteration approach, but they aren't getting it. Their interpretation of it is just collective hallucination under assumption that adults come to change diapers.
- voidspark 1y agoOpenAI was cofounded and funded by Musk for years before they released ChatGPT.
- GrumpyNl 1y agoI see more and more GROK used responses on X, so its picking up.
- bigbuppo 1y agoWhy would anyone want to use an ex social media site?
- Shekelphile 1y agoGrok could capture the entire 'market' and OpenAI would never feel it, because all grok is under the hood is a giant API bill to OpenAI.
- indigodaddy 1y agoIt is? Anyone have further information?
- voidspark 1y agoThey are competing with OpenAI, not outsourcing. https://x.ai/colossus https://x.ai/colossus
- indigodaddy 1y agoThey say no one has come close to building as big an AI computing cluster... What about Groq's infra, wouldn't that be as big or bigger, or is that essentially too different of an infrastructure to be able to compare between?
- voidspark 1y agoGroq is for inferencing, not training.
- indigodaddy 1y agoAh I see, thank you.
- voidspark 1y agoNvidia CEO said he had never seen anyone build a data center that quickly. They were power constrained and brought in a fleet of diesel generators to power it. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/elon-musks-new-worlds-fastest-ai-data-center-is-powered-by-massive-portable-power-generators-to-sidestep-electricity-supply-constraints https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intell... Brute force to catch up to the frontier and no expense spared.
